Choosing a holiday destination currently is like playing the lottery. One country that will not be appearing on the UK's quarantine list anytime soon is Saint Lucia. The tiny nation has the lowest COVID-19 rate in the Caribbean, and the Centre for Disease Control has reduced its rating to the lowest level 1, one of only eight countries globally to be ranked this low.  Boutique hotel Cap Maison, which is a Covid-19 certified hotel, opens its doors again on October 10th offering villa-based accommodation that combines social distancing with luxury.

Cap Maison is a family run boutique villa resort, located on the northernmost tip of Saint Lucia. Spread over three acres of tropical landscaped grounds, with only 50 beautifully appointed rooms and villas, Cap Maison provides a safer, more socially distanced option than a large hotel. The hotel's magnificent elevated seafront location with views of the Caribbean Sea and across to the neighbouring island of Martinique, offers the perfect romantic isolation spot for couples to reconnect after the stresses of lockdown.  As a Covid-19 certified hotel, it means that the hotel has met government requirements for sanitation protocols, social distancing, and other virus-related policies.

Cap Maison's Villas offer unparalleled privacy, personalised concierge service, and private pools in an idyllic location. For guests wishing to stay longer, for a 'workation', monthly rates are available, and guests have their own 'home away from home' in paradise. They can have access to tutors for their children, and high-speed internet facilitates for work tasks. With two to four-bedroom options available, villas have superb master bedrooms with additional interconnecting bedrooms that can be furnished with twin beds to suit a family. All rooms are en-suite and villas come with a fully equipped kitchen, with private chef options available, as well a dining and living room. Daily housekeeping and launderette services are also available.

Cap Maison has access to a pretty, secluded sandy beach and two of the best restaurants on the island, the Cliff at Cap, with Caribbean Chef of the Year Craig Jones at its helm and the more relaxed Naked Fisherman, nestled on the natural cove. Guests can spend their days on the beach, taking part in water-based activities like scuba diving and sailing, going on scenic hikes, cooking lessons, or taking a boat trip along the beautiful coastline.

The postcard-perfect island of Saint Lucia opened its borders to international arrivals in June, with weekly British Airways flights now running from London Gatwick. It is essential that tourists confirm accommodation at a Covid-19 certified hotel when travelling to St Lucia and are required to take a Covid-19 test within seven days of traveling to the island.

Rooms at Cap Maison start at £360 per night including breakfast (www.capmaison.com) and villas start from £550 per night for a two bedroom villa
